I haven't noticed this before, but I'm currently trying to complete the Ascension quests, and for some reason, while I'm attacking things my melee heroes (M.O.X, Koss, and Melonni) have a habit of simply stopping their assault, sometimes turning around, and just staring off into some random direction for 5-10 seconds before deciding to resume their attack.
They're all set to Fight.
Is this normal behavior for heroes?

They're all set to Fight. I'd have to see more of the situation. Usually this happens to me when the heroes are body-blocked by enemies. The AI chooses who to attack before it figures out if it can actually physically get to that location. As a result, if it's body-blocked by enemies, they'll just stand there until the AI target logic changes and/or you assign them a target. Hold control and double click on someone within melee range.
Another option is to just make sure everyone's secondary is Assassin and use a shadowstep. Some examples from PvXWiki

I've noticed this behavior too while out in the desert with M.O.X. and at first I thought he was glitching, but then I realized that it was because of the Devourer mobs.
They use traps such as Dust Trap which kick up a cloud of sand around themselves, and the hero AI tells them to run out of the trap. So they run out, stand there for 5 seconds until the trap is gone, then run back in to attack.
